After achieving 100 backflips in just 30 minutes, and racing Olympian Noah Lyles, American YouTuber IShowSpeed has now stunned the Internet and Paris Olympics 2024 Bronze Medallist Fredrick “Flips” Richard with an impressive 6-foot long jump. In a video that garnered nearly eight million views, the duo was seen performing the jumps.
Shared by an X handle @FearBuck, the viral clip begins with Richard performing the jump first. IShowSpeed goes next and aces it, leaving the Olympian shocked. “We can go higher,” the YouTuber says. However, the Olympian refuses.
“IShowSpeed shocks Olympic medalist and professional gymnast Frederick ‘Flips’ Richard by completing a 6-foot jump that Flips didn’t think he would make,” the caption read.

Responding to the video, an X user said, “Speed is a freak athlete for a streamer. Along with this he: did 600 backflips in a row on live video. Jumped over moving cars back to back on live video,”
“One is a Gold medalist gymnast and other is a Streamer lol. IShowSpeed built different,” another user commented.
“The more I see of him the more I am convinced he could have been a generational athlete,” a third user wrote. “Speed is quite athletic. But no human is currently capable of doing a standing jump of 6ft. The current is 5ft7. Genetically, the stars have to seriously align to even get anywhere near the current world record,” another X user commented.
Recently, IShowSpeed raced Olympic champion Noah Lyles for $100,000.
